Love your videos man, they really help me out when im feeling low. I've recently purchased a helle nordlys and have been using it as my primary knife for a little while. It's a fantastic knife I think is worth you checking out if you happen apon one. It would be awesome if you could do a video on the sentimentality of knives. Why certain knives are more sentimental to you vs others. For me my scandinavian/finnish knives are more sentimental, mostly because that's my primary heritage and I have a few of my grandfathers old knives from the area. Knives pick up a lot of character during a person's life, unique mark of the person. They are a very personal tool, each with its own story. They can also become addictive for many lol
Sounds like you feel the same way that I do about old knives. I will make the video, probably indoors in a couple of months when it is too dark to film outdoors easily. As for the Nordlys it looks like a fantastic knife, but is a bit out of my price range. I do have a Helle Uvaer blade blank which is awaiting a handle. Which is another thing that can add some sentimental value to a knife, when you make it yourself. Even if it has been handmade by somebody else. It's kind of like the more time they spend in hands adds something to the spirit of the knife. Sounds weird, I guess I have a while to work out how to explain that better. Thank you much for the support and for the suggestion.
@KuukkeliBushcraft Absolutely, you are very welcome. I look forward to your future vids. Thank you for the reply, I hope you have a great rest of the year.
It's so hard and splitty. Just like mahogany from what I remember. Not worked with anything other than birch and pine for years. Thanks for watching mate.
I'm rehandling a hatchet at the mo. Think it's a framing hatchet. Also just sharpened up the Hults Bruk woodcutter's axe. I'm behind on the firewood and it's getting colder by the day!
Are you going to do a video too? Makes a change from knives once in a while. Can you believe I don't have a fire in my house? It would save so much money. Council property, so I can't do anything about it. Thanks for stopping by mate.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft I think I may have to do a Comparative Study of Axes video. I've got a nice wee array here. Funnily I can believe that you don't have a fire in your home. When I lived in NE Thailand I didn't have an air-conditioner in my hut. If I wanted to cool down I had to go out for a bike ride, in order to catch the breeze. Now if you want to warm up you have to go outside and into the woods in order to build a fire. Like we say in Thailand, Same Same But Different ;D
Hola Alvero, el banco es Una Cosa qué tengo qué incluir en un video en Español algun dia. Es qué no se si es una cosa qué se ve en muchos paises. Gracias por ver el video amigo. Un abrazo
Good work Tim! I still have a couple of old Gransfors axes, one which I bought for $3 CDN (a 2 1/4lb head) You approack haft making very similar to I do it, using spokeshave, drawknife and like you I have no bench vise (or shaving horse for that matter). I had a very similar axe head to that but it was a SA Wetterlings Storvik. I found the hardest axe heads to re-haft were the Billnas and Old Soviet Axes. I have used Yellow Birch and that is old school Scandinavian haft material, I found it durable. Coming from UK I have made a lot out of Ash, unsurprisingly. I come from several generations of carpenters and boat builders. Cheers mate, Chris
I also used to use Ash in the UK. Birch is the obvious choice here. The thing is it is so hard to find trees big enough this far north. I do have some drying for when I have the time to rehaft one of the Billnäs heads I have been hoarding, and when I pluck up the courage to do something a bit different 😂
You definitely can't go wrong with Swedish axes. Hults Bruks are great too. Really happy with how this gransfors is turning out though. It cuts great. Thanks for watching mate.
A top chopper that Tim bro for a tenner ! I remember Clint Eastwood in the movie Pale Rider.. bashing the granny out of a load of bullies with a base ball bat.. and then he whispers 'Nothing beats a fine piece of hickory' 😂🤣

A class axe mate! Nice that it'll be unique as well as a Gransfors! That hickory looks a bugger to work!
It's so hard and splitty. Just like mahogany from what I remember. Not worked with anything other than birch and pine for years.
Thanks for watching mate.

HALLELUYAH!!!! We are ALL WAKING UP!!! YAH SPEED!!!

Another great video brother. God bless you. Lee
Thanks Lee, glad you liked it mate.

Congratulations on the axe head score and stand up job on the handle!!!✊️🔥✌️💚
Thank you very much Jake.
looking good, coming along nicely.
Thanks Dan, well it's more than usable now. Think I will make a couple of minor changes. Should be ready in a couple of years at this rate 😂
Bless the Unni beast at the end.. she is patrolling innit !! 🐾
Got to make sure there's no squirrels around don't you.
Great job, good skills 👍🏻
Thank you very much mate.
Wow, cool find and nice work.I gave my Brother a forest Granfors B.Not a thing wrong with their axes,just prefer Hults Bruk a little more.
You definitely can't go wrong with Swedish axes. Hults Bruks are great too. Really happy with how this gransfors is turning out though. It cuts great.

We actually have a dog called Hickory. Over 200 dogs, so we do have some silly names. We used to have one called K.G.B.🤣
Great job!
Thank you very much Gruggs.
Nice buy Tim! 😝👊👏👏👏👏
Always on the lookout for a bargain 🤣.
Thanks for watching buddy.
Carving knife and sand paper should finish your handle.👍
That's the plan, pretty much done now. Hopefully will get out and test it soon.
Thanks for watching Jas.
You sitting there with your axe at the intro looks like the promo for a horror movie 😂 🪓 🩸
Sitting like a Bull.

Have you seen Black sheep? I think I should make a Lapland version. Zombie reindeer sounds like an idea. If you haven't seen Black Sheep, you should.
